\Header{Recall}{Recursive Calling}
\keyword{programming}{Recall}
\begin{Description}\relax
\code{Recall} is used as a placeholder for the name of the function
in which it is called.  It allows the definition of recursive
functions which still work after being renamed, see example below.\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
Recall(...)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{...}] all the arguments to be passed.
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{SeeAlso}\relax
\code{\Link{do.call}} and \code{\Link{call}}.\end{SeeAlso}
\begin{Examples}
\begin{ExampleCode}
## A trivial (but inefficient!) example:
fib <- function(n) if(n<=2) {if(n>=0) 1 else 0} else Recall(n-1) + Recall(n-2)
fibonacci <- fib; rm(fib)
## renaming wouldn't work without Recall
fibonacci(10) # 55
\end{ExampleCode}
\end{Examples}
